A diverse community

Tenants come to Bridge Housing from all walks of life and all backgrounds. They are activists, artists, parents, volunteers and workers. They are community members, elders, leaders, survivors and everyday people with rights and responsibilities.

Bridge Housing tenants are also some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in Sydney, with high levels of complex needs.

Tenants live in some of the most economically disadvantaged areas of Sydney such as Auburn and Canterbury, but also in some of the most advantaged areas such as Leichhardt and Woollahra. What is common to all of these areas is the critical lack of affordable accommodation.

As of January 2015:

We house more than 2,800 people living in over 1,600 dwellings across 18 local government areas.
